I have been through the ops to remove my thyroid and followed by RAI RADIO IODINEtreatment.  I am now on yearly checks.  At the same time mg 45 year old son who is healthy athletic and active has undergone a scan followed by biopsy for a swollen area on his thyroid area. He has a second appointment in / weeks presumably to discuss results.  I am going crazy.  Has.anyond else experienced this situation? 

  • Hi Cumbrialady, I'm so sorry to read about your son undergoing investigations for a suspicious lump. I saw you hadn't had any more relevant replies and wanted to respond. I'm not in quite the same situation as my variant (Medullary) turned out to be sporadic not genetic. But I can certainly empathise with the anxiety it caused me whilst we underwent genetic tests thinking my daughter may have this cancer too. I hope you don't have to wait too long before you get your son's results and hopefully members with more experience will reply soon.
